Quick couple of questions.
Will an 2001 XR8 instrument cluster work in a 2002 Fairmont Ghia V8? Also, I am looking at getting both a stall converter and diff gears. I have been told a 2500 stall would be the best, any advise. I have also been told to get 3.7 or 3.9 diff gears (I already have 3.45) which ones would suit best? I do a little towing, light weight about 10 times a year. Ta  |

I would say 2500 stally and 3.7 diff gears would give you the results your after without changing day to day economy and driveability to much!

Remember that you've got the lovely torque of the Windsor @ 2500 plus the 3:7. It should be more than enough. Cheers! GK

Are the sway bars the same between the Ghia and the XR? I wouldn't think so so that might be something for you to swap over.
